I dunno why I simply love this term, "Gender Equality", henceforth referred to as the term, so much. With the feminist movement gaining prominence, the term became more like a common parlance. However, I love it for a different reason. Ironically the term is the basis of the various anti-male women protection laws but there are some areas where this term is misnomer and does not fit in properly, given the existing dynamics.

One such area is the taxation. Statistics tell that men in India are responsible for 82 % of the taxes paid. However, in the last 62 years not a single rupee has been spent for men welfare. And it is not that men do not have their share of problems. Almost every problem that women face, men are also victimized by it, either directly or indirectly, but where women are provided protection from the problems, men are not.

Be it dowry, domestic abuse, suicides, rapes, sexual harassment, men are facing as much (far more serious and grave in some areas) as women are reported to face. However, the protection is biased and discriminated against men. Again the irony here is that the same protection that is given to women against men is funded from the money of the same men.

If that was not enough, women at the same salary levels are made to pay less tax than men. Women start paying taxes at a higher salary levels than the level at which men start paying. When feminists are painting the town red with the term, why is that same concept of Gender Equality is not applied here? Moreover, it is also a tacit admission that women are weaker than men - a thought against the cardinal principles of Empowerment and Equality.

As a result of this skewed concept of equality, men have now become the disempowered gender and yet there is no Men's Rights Movement being patronized by the Governments. The Taxed Men and the Relaxed Women have resulted in a gender obsessed and perverted social setup which considers killing men as Social Service and treats men as FREE ATM MACHINES considering it to be WOMEN EMPOWERMENT.

I will end with another irony. As women enjoy state sponsored pamperment (read protection), it is very easy for them to trap men in false cases and then enjoy the state sponsored pamperment which in turn is sponsored by men. Hence its men's own money used against them, so while they are taxed, women are relaxed enjoying men sponsored state sponsored pamperment. And they call it a man's world.
